Ok guys, the moment for Udinese who are enjoying their good season not only in the Italian Serie A being in the 2nd position with 14 points only 2 points behind Inter the sole leader.

Today is time for a bigger scenario "The UEFA Cup, a European Competition."

In the 20th minute, Referee Feliz Brych grants a penalty kick to Udinese after Tottenham goalkeeper Gomes commits a foul on Udinese forward Fabio Quagliarella bringing him down inside the penalty area.  Gomes is also booked. 




Taking the penalty spot is Udinese forward Antonio "TOTO" Di Natale! In the 24th minute, Di Natale gets set, concentrate, and with a right footed shot sends the ball to the lower left corner blasting Tottenham goalkeeper Gomes.  Way to go Di Natale!!!
Udinese 1 - 0 Tottenham
           
In the 57th minute, RefereeBrych  gives a red card to Jamie O'Hara. Tottenham remains with 10 players. Imagine, just in one minute O'Hara collected two yellow cards! Hello, what was he thinking?  Well, good for Udinese.


I was glad to see Tottenham Giovanni Dos Santos playing at least few minutes since he is a very popular footballer in the Mexican National team.  Juande Ramos substituted J. Woodgate in the 64th minute giving chance to Dos Santos.


First substitution for Udinese in the 79th minute.  A. Sanchez out, Simone Pepe in.

Imagine guys, seven minutes later and Simone Pepe making a big difference!

In the 86th minute, it is precisely Udinese forward Simone Pepe increasing the score with a right footed shot directly to the lower right corner from the center of the area where Tottenham goalkeeper Gomes could not save. 
Udinese 2 - 0 Tottenham

You bet the party exploded at the Friuli Stadium!!!  Hip hip hurrah!  Congrats to all Udinese fans. 

Now, time to be ready for the Italian Serie A Week 8 on Sunday against AS Roma. Motivation is high and I am sure Udinese will pour their hearts out to win this match too.
